[v3,05/13] qcow2: preallocation at image expand

Commit Message

Anton Nefedov July 31, 2017, 4:21 p.m. UTC

From: "Denis V. Lunev" <[e-mail]>

This patch adds image preallocation at expand to provide better locality
of QCOW2 image file and optimize this procedure for some distributed
storage where this procedure is slow.

Preallocation is not issued upon writing metadata clusters.

Possible conflicts are resolved by the common block layer code since
ALLOCATE requests are serialising.
